Boston_E Posted August 6, 2015 Posted August 6, 2015 (edited) No restrictions. Just what are your personal 10 best Rush songs? Hard list to make, but here is my stab at it: 1- Limelight2- The Spirit Of Radio3- Dreamline4- Subdivisions5- 21126- Tom Sawyer7- Bravado8- Red Sector A9- La Villa10- The Pass Honorable Mentions: Roll The Bones, Test For Echo, Mission and YYZ Edited August 6, 2015 by Boston_E 1
Narps Posted August 6, 2015 Posted August 6, 2015 No restrictions aye? OK...By Tor/In The End (live from ATWAS) That's 22112LessonsSomething For NothingXanaduCinderella ManCygnus Book II HemispheresNatural ScienceWitch Hunt This is nearly impossible to do by the way. There are really only 4 or 5 that are givens and the rest are tough. A top 20 or 25 as we have done many times is much easier... 3

MeanMeanPride Posted August 6, 2015 Posted August 6, 2015 (edited) Really hard, but I think a good exercise and I always enjoy doing this. Of course some of this will be different tomorrow. (I also like power ranking the albums like this). LATELY, these are the songs I like to listen to the most. This is not necessarily a Best Songs list, just an opinion. 1. Red Barchetta2. Subdivisions3. The Camera Eye4. Natural Science5. Xanadu6. Jacob's Ladder7. Cygnus X-18. Hemispheres9. La Villa10. 2112 Honorable Mentions:The entire Power Windows albumAll of the "hits" that everyone likes/playsThe Enemy Within!!! Edited August 6, 2015 by MeanMeanPride 2
rocket ignites Posted August 6, 2015 Posted August 6, 2015 1. The Spirit of Radio2. Natural Science3. Limelight4. Dreamline5. The Pass6. Hemispheres - Book II7. 21128. Earthshine9. Mission10. Subdivisions Top 10-12 is fairly easy for me...I pull my hair out at 20-25. :o

The song in bold was almost on my list. The whole of AFTK exception Madrigal could have made my list truth be told. The 2112 - Hemispheres run was just to awesome in my view.... 1

I'd extend that run to Permanent Waves...maybe the best run of albums in history
Tombstone Mountain Posted August 6, 2015 Posted August 6, 2015 My turn. Narps hit it on the head. They're obvious epics which are gold standard, but really I'm burned out on them at present. Here goes: In the EndBeneath, Between, BehindBangkok--ESLLessonsMadrigalDifferent StringsBetween the WheelsManhattan ProjectSeven Cities of GoldThe Anarchist--So killer live 1

I'd extend that run to Permanent Waves...maybe the best run of albums in historyI was going to include it too but it was a slight change in direction to be sure so I didn't. If anything I would have gone backwards to COS even though I think Permanent Waves is a better album. Just speaking about style here of course... 1
